CHANGE STARTS WITH YOU

NC Congressional District 9 has been represented by a Republican since 1963. As demographics shift and the GOP platform has drifted further to the right, we think we need representatives who actually represent us. Our district is diverse in demographics and political perspectives, yet Rep. Pittenger, currently on his 3rd term, votes with Trump's positions over 96% of the time.

Thankfully Rep. Pittenger lost his primary on May 8, 2018. Unfortunately, Mark Harris won the Republican primary. Pittenger and Harris battled over who was the most "Trump-like" and to be honest, we are not sure which one wins that title. Harris, a self-described "husband, father, pastor and community leader", fundraises with Trump, would deny women the right to make healthcare decisions, denies that humans are driving climate change, doesn’t support gay marriage and would gut the federal government.

Postcard writing parties

Personalized postcards are a great way to turnout voters that aren't easily reached by canvassing. We are targeting several different demographics with our postcards. Keep an eye out for future postcard writing parties or host your own. Email moc9nc@gmail.com find out how to host your own event or write postcards on your own.

Getting folks to the polls

We are working with a number of organizations to coordinate rides to the polls for early voting and on Election Day. Stay tuned!

Target Districts

For Round 1 of our "Flip the 9th" plan, we have partnered with FlipNC, an Indivisible group taking targeted, evidence-based action to elect progressives in North Carolina. FlipNC has identified NC-H104 and NC-H105 as two of the most flippable districts in the state, and they are in NC Congressional District 9.

According to FLIP NC, these two districts were chosen as the most flippable because they lie in rapidly growing suburban parts of Mecklenburg county; they have been trending more Democratic over recent elections; and were won by Roy Cooper in 2016.

Deep Canvassing

Conventional, last minute canvassing fails to change the underlying drivers of turnout and support such as prejudice and disempowerment.

Deep canvassing is a communicating tool that generates larger and longer-lasting impacts on core voter attitudes. It consists of a candid two-way conversation where voters are asked to share their own relevant, emotionally significant experiences and reflect on them aloud. In addition, we are able to collect data such as voter concerns for messaging and accurate data such as contact information for further contact with the voter.
